DHSC:

Changes to International Recruitment for Adult Social Care

15 July 2025

2.00pm - 2:30pm


Virtual

On 12th May 2025, the Home Office published the Immigration White Paper: Restoring control over the immigration system white paper set out that overseas recruitment into adult social care will end. This change to the immigration rules has been laid in Parliament on 1st July as part of a wider package of measures: Major immigration reforms delivered to restore order and control - GOV.UK. Subject to Parliamentary approval the new rules will come into effect on 22nd July 2025.  

 

As outlined in the Immigration White Paper, for adult social care there will be a transition period until 2028, where in-country switching for those already in the UK will continue to be permitted. This switching will cover: 

 

 

The rules set out that the transition period will end automatically on 22nd July 2028, but in line with the White Paper, the transition period will be kept under review. 

 

International workers sponsored to work legally in the sector by the end of the transition period will be able to extend their stay, change sponsors, and apply to settle, subject to settlement rules in place at the time. The Government will consult on changes to settlement rules later this year. 

 

The Home Office is hosting three webinars to provide further information on these changes and what they mean for ASC providers and existing sponsored care workers.
